    New gun room

    Well it was a project that took me about three months as I am no handyman and it was done on nights and spare weekends. Not too many of those available. :) Had to frame up this room, sheet rock it, paint, etc. Finally have a nice, quiet place to reload and contemplate the many guns I don't...

    AR Jam need help

    Today we went out for a beautiful day of shooting and were thoroughly enjoying ourselves when the AR jammed. The round is "above" the bolt. How does this happen? Better yet, how do I get this out? The round is LIVE! Sorry for the quality of the pics. I accept and appreciate any advice on how...

    Primer life?

    A friend of my Dad's has gotten out of reloading and gave me 3,000 small and large rifle primers. I don't know the age but my Dad says the price tag is $1.25 per 1,000 so they are not recent. :) Is there a safe or non safe life expectancy with primers? I haven't seen them yet since my Dad is in...

    Free 5.7x28mm brass

    If anyone reloads the 5.7x28mm brass, I have 65 cases, once fired that I'll send to you for free. Some guys next to me were shooting this the other day at the range so when they left I just picked up the brass. I've tumbled it but that is all. If you are interested pm me your address and I'll...

    G29 experience

    I am looking into getting a Glock 29 before January 20, 2009! :D I have been a fan of the 10mm for many years. Sold my Delta Elite to my Dad so I can still shoot it from time to time. I've got the dies to reload and lots of brass so reloading will be the way to go. For those of you who have...

    Stuck bullet

    Well over the years I have experienced a few primer only reloads or "light" reloads that got the bullet lodged in the barrel. This time I can't get it out. I have a JHP stuck halfway out the barrel of my Ruger Vaquero .45LC. I tried screwing a screw down into the bullet and then pulling out...

    What Smith is this?

    I told a friend that I "needed" a .38 revolver just for some plinking since I have about 700 rounds loaded up and my wife's snubby just isn't good for that much shooting. She he gives me this Smith and says, "check this out and shoot it and let me know what you think". So I ask him how much he...

    Elk Hunting Rifle - enough gun?

    I'm going elk hunting and was wondering if this will be enough gun. :D Actually my little girl turns six on Sunday and this will be her first firearm. She has shot some of my .22s but having her own pink one will get her pumped. Now I've got to find pink hearing protection. :)

    What brass is this?

    Does anyone know what type brass is the second case from the left? Looks sort of a like a necked down 9mm. The cases pictured here are 9mm, mystery case, .45acp and 38spl. I found a bunch of these at the range the other day and wondered what they were. Sorry for the bad cell phone pics but it is...

    Price Check H&K USP .40

    My cousin is selling his H&K USP .40 and I was wondering what a "fair" price would be. I believe he purchased it in 1995 and it has the older hi capacity mag (15 rnd I think). Thanks for the input.

    How many guns do you take to the range?

    For the life of me every time I want to go and just shoot one gun I end up with four or five. Thinking about shooting the AR when I realize that there are 500 rounds of 45LC that need to be shot. So I throw in the Vaquero and the Winchester 94. Now that I'm thinking about it, my truck gun is a...

    .223 case lube question

    I've been reloading pistol calibers for years and am not beginning to reload rifle. This is a different animal all together. :) With the Lee Classic 4 hole turret press and carbide dies there has been no need to lube my pistol brass. The tube of Lee resizing lubricant says, "DO NOT lube the...

    coyote round for .243

    We are going to Texas to do some coyote shooting soon and I was wondering what a good coyote round would be in .243. I have never shot coyotes and have zero experience with this. The gun I have is a Remington 700 .243 with a Leupold 3x9. All opinions appreciated. Thanks!

    .45 LC stuck in the barrel

    Shot several rounds of .45LC in my Winchester Model 94 yesterday when one of the loads had only a primer. :( So the 300 grain XTP is somewhere inside the barrel of the rifle. I've gotten stuck rounds out of handgunds before but never a rifle. Any suggestions as to the best way to do this...

    Wow! Awesome gift

    This weekend a group of friends gave me a new Remington Model 700 .243 with a beautiful wood stock and a Leupold 3x9 sitting on the top. It was totally unexpected and quite a surprise. I'm on the road right now but will post some pics soon. I've wanted a .243 for quite a while and this is just...

    Reloading rifle vs. handgun

    I've been reloading for several years but it has all been handgun ammo, 9mm, 10mm, .38, .357, .40, .45Colt and .45ACP. I would like to begin reloading some .223 and .30-06. Is there a major difference in reolading these rifle calibers as opposed to the handgun calibers? Anything special to...

    advice on how to remove a "backwards" primer

    I was priming some 9mm with the Lee Auto Prime and two of the primers flipped over and went in backwards. Any ideas on how to remove them? I'm sorely afraid that if I try to "deprime" them I'll shoot the primers off. This has never happened before so I'm in new territory. Should I just throw...

    Just want to take a small amount of TFL space and post a positive experience on some truly great personal customer service. Yesterday at Bass Pro in St. Charles, MO I received some of the best customer service ever from any place, bar none. My situation was that I had a long action Savage...
